International incident avoided

After drawing interest on Kathleen's $23 for four months, Family Banker and Tax Accountant Virgil transferred Solveig's money to Kathleen yesterday in an international financial transaction of some note. John Rolfsrud, left, served as witness. When Solveig left for Norway last June, she thought the perfect gift for her hosts might be a Minnesota Vikings outfit. They don't have those things in Norway, or in California either, so Kathleen stepped in as secret shopper and made the purchase. Turns out the Norwegian child was bigger than anyone expected, so the little Vikings outfit returned to the big Vikings store and middleman Virgil was entrusted with the cash refund. Final settlement was reached at breakfast Sunday after the kroner to dollars exchange rate was calculated.

For the record, Solveig, your credit has been restored.
